Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1587

Chapter 1587: Chapter 1582: Unarmed

Outside the Golden Palace, the imperial guard controlled by the Imperial Family had blades at their throats, not daring to move.

Xiao Rongyan’s guard, Yue Shi, personally led the black-armored soldiers, standing orderly at the entrance of the grand hall, like door gods, guarding the place and isolating the bloody and tragic sounds of battle outside, letting people hear only the sounds of killing, but not seeing any blood.

"Ninth Uncle..." Murong Li softly called out, not expecting that Ninth Uncle had still managed to return.

Although he was prepared, he still felt uncertain. Seeing Xiao Rongyan back, Murong Li felt a sense of reassurance, suddenly gaining confidence.

"You..." The Empress Dowager of Yan, on the brink of death, widened her eyes, struggling to lift her hand with her last bit of strength, trembling as she pointed at Xiao Rongyan, but only managed to utter "you" before her breath stopped, collapsing as... her eyes remained wide open, looking in Xiao Rongyan’s direction.

"Mother..." Murong Li sobbed softly, tears continuously streaming down as he tightly held the Empress Dowager of Yan. At this moment, Murong Li was not the Emperor of Yan, but just a child who had lost his mother, "Mother..."

Murong Li’s grand uncle reacted quickly. He suddenly stood up, assumed a protective stance, and shouted, "Seize the national traitor Murong Yan, protect His Majesty!"

But outside, the imperial guard that had been switched to the clan relatives were already controlled, preventing anyone from entering.

The court officials stood on either side of the grand hall, not daring to move,

The words of the young Emperor just now clearly indicated his deep trust in the Regent Prince.

But the Empress Dowager’s final words before her death made people hesitate, as she was the young Emperor’s biological mother, whose dying words might affect his trust in the Regent Prince.

The officials didn’t know whether they should stand with the Imperial Family in front of His Majesty or closely follow the Regent Prince.

Just as the officials were indecisive and at a loss, the young Emperor helped the Empress Dowager of Yan close her eyes, cradled his mother, and stood up with all his strength.

Wang Jiuzhou stepped forward to protect Murong Li at his side.

Ren Shijie also perfectly timed, leading the black-armored soldiers from behind the grand hall, rushing towards the high platform...

The clan relatives were not the emperor’s guard, and before entering the Golden Palace, their defensive weapons had been removed. Seeing the black-armored soldiers rushing to the high platform made them uncertain, still Murong Li’s grand uncle responded quickly, reaching out to grab Murong Li, shouting, "Your Majesty, be careful!"

Wang Jiuzhou, who was protecting Murong Li, lifted his garment hem, and before Murong Li’s grand uncle could touch Murong Li’s arm, he kicked him away.

Wang Jiuzhou shielded Murong Li and the Empress Dowager of Yan in Murong Li’s arms, stepping back a few steps as the black-armored soldiers stepped forward to shield the emperor behind them.

Instead, the clan relatives led by this grand uncle up the high platform were pointed at with sharp swords, huddling together with the grand uncle, filled with panic.

The old clan relative who couldn’t seize Murong Li understood that if they didn’t pull the young Emperor to their side, the Regent Prince would have no scruples. They were now trapped in the Golden Palace, like helpless lambs, ready to be slaughtered.

"Your Majesty!" Murong Li’s grand uncle shouted loudly to Murong Li, "Come over quickly! The Empress Dowager’s dying words warned against trusting the national traitor Murong Yan!"
